How we work

In Hong Kong legal services are provided by two distinct legal professions, barristers and solicitors, each organized under its own professional body and subject to the provisions of theLegal Practitioners’ Ordinance. Barristers specialize in advocacy and providing legal advice and broadly speaking may only be instructed by solicitors, although there are some limited exceptions to this rule which allow lay clients direct access to a barrister. Where a member of the public wishes to pursue a claim through the courts or needs representation in defending a claim against him then normally that individual will need to instruct a solicitor to act for him who will then, as appropriate, instruct a barrister on the client’s behalf.
